      Red Calipers with Machined Lip Matte Bronze Wheels?

      Thinking about buying these red calipers.




      I think red calipers with full bronze/gold wheels looks great but I'm not so sure how it'll look with the machined lip. What do you guys think?

      Here's a pic of my wheels.





      Thanks in advanced!

      Are those upgraded calipers? If they're just stockers, I'd just tell you to get some caliper paint and spray away. Regardless, I think it'd look awesome!

      They're just red painted OEM calipers. I've decided they'll look awesome too! Buying them right now, lol.

      I'm not really into DIY projects and plus when I do something myself the end result tends to be fairly shoddy.

      If you are capable of replacing your calipers, bleeding them properly, and such, you are then capable of painting them yourself.

      so your just going to put those pretty red calipers on a shelf?

      i dont want to get rude, but those are a waste of money. EVEN if you suck at life, you can paint a caliper in minutes.

      I'm going to have the local Les Schwab install them along with the new rotors I'm getting. The way I see it is, why bother doing things yourself if you have the money to have someone else take care of it

      I'm feeling some hostility from you. Not sure why it matters what one does with their money...
